Randi is working on her PhD in Educational Neuroscience at the Donders Centre for Cognition in Nijmegen. Her project is part of the NeurolabNL consortium, funded by the Dutch National Research Agenda (NWA), which aims at developing optimal research-based learning conditions. In particular, she is interested in how changes in the neural structure during word learning can be used to provide autonomy during the learning process. Her background is in Cognitive Psychology (BSc) and Cognitive Neuroscience (MSc), which she both studied at the Radboud University in Nijmegen.
